SMC Rocketeer Rides

we have two mint carparks and several working pocket rockets

so grab your rocket and get on ya bike!

Rocket Ride this Xxxday xxth Xxxtember


after brief discussion with squiggles we've decided it might be best if these are done on a 'BYO' basis. frankly it's not fair on those who spend the time/effort maintaining their beasts to turn up to watch a whole lot of random bikers ride/smash them without getting a decent ride themselves - plus while one extra person is fine, 5 is going to get boring

I'm not sure if my minimoto is still mine - I think currently it's a combination of "mine" and "Hanne's" lol.

[Ixion]

Bah. I have a good mind to report this post for misleading advertising. I thought you meant rockets

[motorbyclist]

well, with a bit of modification.....

Putting the peppier engine in?

Hanne's gonna be wheelieing past the checkered flag.

Is mine actually going at the moment? :P

Yep, and Hannes sis completed the running in yesterday

[Slyer]

Wicked, not pissing fuel everywhere then?
How are we going to bin constantly without it the extra fuel on the track?

[motorbyclist]

i'm sure we'll find a way... just keep leaning til the pegs lever the wheels off the road

im really REALLY keen on getting one these holidays but i know theyre made in china which means they're pieces of crap and i DONT want to have to keep fixing it every half hour of riding!!!

squiggs, motorb, any insight??

[motorbyclist]

mine is a minter now it's sussed. only issues i have is forgetting to do things after i "fix" it or when a bit of quality chinese fuel filter breaks free and blocks the fuel jet.

Be sure to tighten up the motor before riding, get a decent pullstart rope and i'll sell you an NGK plug for $6 if you think your "JL" one is the problem.

otherwise they aren't that bad..... just remember to pump up the tyres before riding

Anyone can use mine while I'm not there on the basis that it is still running when you're done with it!

please say this will be o a day that i can make it!!!??? i'm dead keen to buy one too.... but with the whole parents issue... i'm worried. i could say my vtr had a baby, but that prob wouldn't go down too well. if i buy one, would one of u guys be able to provide it with a permanent(ly temporary) home, while i formulate a means for breaking the news to the parents... perhaps i cold tell them it's the delayed, accumulated birthday gift of teh many ppl i know....? hmm... options, options...
